This is an example of why we must consider " I'SLAM" a mythology, rather than a religion. There is no cohesive universal belief structure, nor is there a body of dogma reflective of the belief system. This is not about sects, as in Christianity, but rather a composite system of control exercised by the one with most power and control. The popular notion that the Mu'slam mythologies constitute a "Religion" is misleading and dangerous, as it infuses what is, at root, a death cult.
